FOREWORD 

IN compiling Sport-Cyc the 
author has endeavored to 
place before the sport-loving 
public a book that will be 
both versatile and interesting 
at the same time. 

Records, perhaps, that are 
not known to the generation 
of today have been given the 
greatest consideration, and 
this little volume, the reader 
must admit, holds every con- 
ceivable record one would 
care to know in the well- 
known sports. 

It has eliminated the con- 
sultation of dozens of books, 
some rather incomplete inso- 
far as fulfilling the purposes 
for which they are meant. 



Every record herein con- 
tained is authentic and accu- 
rate, having been obtained 
from sources which are affiU- 
ated very closely with that 
very sport. 

If the reader obtains as 
much enjoyment and pleasure 
from the perusal of Sport-Cyc 
as the author had in compil- 
ing same, the purpose of this 
little volume will not have 

gone amiss.

PITCHING RECORDS 

Chas. ("Babe") Adams 

Born, Tipton, Ind., May 18, 1883. 

In 1920, Adams led the National League in shut- 
out games (8), second to Alexander in point of 
earned runs scored. In the 35 full games he 
pitched, he issued but 18 bases on balls, hit one 
batsman, pitched 263 innings, faced 1,035 bats- 
men. So splendid in his "control" he issued one 
pass for each 15 innings he pitched. The most 
remarkable pitching feat ever credited to any 
pitcher was in 1914, when he pitched 21 innings 
against the New York Giants, failed to either issue 
a base on balls, hit a batter, or make a wild 
pitch.

Four-Hundred Hitters 

Few batters can claim honor of a batting average 
of 400 or better for a season; making 300 is the 
ambition of all players. 

Jess Burkett holds the record, having been in 
the four hundred per cent class three seasons, 1895, 
1896, and 1899. Players who batted 400 or better 
twice, are: Anson; Stovey; Thompson; Dele- 
hanty, and Cobb.

Records Made in 1887 

In 1887 players were allowed four strikes: A 
base on balls counted as a base hit, consequently 
batting averages of that season should not be 
compared with those of other seasons, as only 
three strikes are allowed and a **walk" is not 
credited as a hit. 

"Tip" O'Neill, who played the outfield for St. 
Louis, American Association, made the wonderful 
record of .492 during 1887. He is credited with 
277 hits in- 123 games. 

Records of this season are separated, and should 
be borne in mind when speaking of the wonder- 
ful batters in the "good old days." Here they 
are: 

J. E. "Tip" O'Neill, St. Louis, A. A., 1887— .492.

World's Record Hitting 

To make five or six hits in a game is heraldeti 
as phenomenal, but Wilbert Robinson, playing 
for Baltimore, and now managing the Brooklyns, 
made seven hits in one game against St. Louis 
on June 10, 1892. This performance is all the 
more remarkable when we note that the pitchers 
were none other than "Cy" Young, Theodore 
Breitenstein and "Pretzel" Getzein, three cracker- 
jacks of those times. 

On September 6, 1883, Tom Burns, Chicago 
third baseman against Detroit, was at bat three 
times in one inning, making a home run and two 
doubles. Burns made these hits in the seventh 
inning when Chicago scored 18 runs. 

On April 21, 1883, Robinson, one of the players 
with Saginaw against Dayton, was at bat three 
times in the sixth inning, making two triples and 
a double. Saginaw made twenty (20) runs in 
that game. 

Bill George in a game with St. Paul vs. Kansas 
City on June 21, 1896, was at bat twice in the 



61 



sixth inning, making two home runs. The St. 
Paul team won. The winners made thirty-five hits 
for a total of fifty-six bases. Scored thirteen runs 
in, the sixth. 

In 1884 Captain A, C. Anson, of the Chicago 
N. L. Club, made five home runs in two games. 

7 Hits — two home runs, three doubles, t\yo sin- 
gles in succession, a total of 16 bases by Hans 
Wagner, Pittsburg, N. L. Aug. 22, 1910. 

8 Hits — Seven singles, one triple, Larry Lajoie, 
Cleveland, A. L., vs. St. Louis, Oct. 9, 1910. 

Greatest Number of Hits Consecutively 

11 safe hits, Tris Speaker, Cleveland, A. L., 
1920. 

10 safe hits, J. Gettman, Washington, N. L., 
1899. 

9 safe hits, "Doc" Johnston, Cleveland, A. L., 
1919. 

Memphis Club (Southern Assn.) defeated Little 
Rock, scoring 29 runs on 30 hits at Memphis, 
Tenn., Aug. 9, 1921. The previous minor league 
record was 24 runs made by Atlanta against Bir- 
mingham in 1920. 

Sam Rice of Washington Holds World's Record 
of Outfield Chances 

Sam Rice in 1920 placed the record for chances 
accepted at 478 ag-ainst the old record by Max 
Carey of the Pirates, who in 1917 accepted 468 
chances.

Brother Against Brother in World's Series 
Games 

Since 1884, when the World's Series games were 
first played, there have been only two such 
series where brothers have played on opposing 
teams, once in 1920, when Jimmy Johnston of the 
Brooklyn team had his brother Wheeler "Doc" 
Johnston of the Cleveland team as his opponent; 
and in 1921 Bob Meusel of the New York Yanks 
opposed his brother Emil **Irish" Meusel of the 
New York Giants, 

Longest Drive on Record 

On June 14, 1921, Babe Ruth, in a game against 
St. Louis, made a hit that traveled 430 feet. This 
was his second home run into the center field 
bleachers. The hit was made on the Polo Grounds. 

Some Home Runs 

In a series between Philadelphia and Detroit, 
played in the former city, there were fifteen home 
runs made by the two teams, the Athletics crack- 
ing out ten of them. During the series, sixty-five 
runs scored in the four games. The ball was bit 
for 106 safeties for a grand total of 174 bases. 

SIX HITS IN A GAME 

Ed. Delehanty« One Major League Player, Did It 
Twice 

O'Rourke Had Two Such Streaks in 1919 

1 Ed. Delehanty is the only player in Major 
Leagues who made six hits in a game twic^ The 



63 



first time was with Cleveland Players League in 
1890, and in 1894 with Philadelphia. 

Only Player to Do it Twice in One Season 

Frank O'Rourke, who formerly played with 
Toronto, now with Washington, is the only player 
who ever did it twice in one season. On the 
opening day of the International League Season, 
he made his first six hits, and in the latter part 
of the season he did it again. 

Both Willie Keeler and Jack Doyle on the Bal- 
timore, N. L. Club, made six hits each the same 
day, Sept. 3, 1897. 

From 1902 when Jimmy Williams made six hits 
in a game with Baltimore until George Cutshaw 
of the Brooklyn team did it in 1915, no player 
made six hits in a game. 

Here is the complete record of all players 
who have made six hits in a game, excepting sea- 
son of 1887, when players had four strikes.

A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE BY 
GUY HECKER, WHICH PROB- 
ABLY WILL NEVER BE 
EQUALLED 

The wonderful accomplishments in all-around 
baseball of such players as Sisler, Ruth, Lajoie, 
Wagner, Hornsby and others rightly excite our adi- 
miration. Compared with the record established 
by Guy Hecker — a star of the Eighties— they 
must necessarily take second place. 

He Is Credited With-— 

having pitched a no-hit game, playing first base, in 
which position he was not offered a chance. He 
also has to his credit the remarkable record of 
having scored seven runs in a regular nine-inning 
game.

SLOW GAMES 

July 30, 1862, it required four hours to score 
12 runs between the Unions of Morrisania and 
Eckfords of Green Point to play a game. 

A game played at Carrolton, Ky., on July 18, 
1863, between two picked teams, started at ten 
o'clock in the morning, iand was called on account 
of darkness at six P. M. with only seven innings 
played. The score was a tie with 58 runs each. 

THREE EXCEPTIONAL RECORDS 

Once in the history of Baseball have two clubs 
from two leading Baseball Leagues captured the 
pennants (Chicago), and the same year two other 
clubs (Boston) in the same city finished last. 

In 1920 two batters from the same city in two 
leagues led the other players in batting. 

^ Here Are the Records

A FEW OPINIONS 




I have many books on sport. Your edition is 
one that can be reiied upon. It is the best on the 
market with every item in all lines of sport re- 
corded. Every newspaperman should have a copy 
on his desk. Send to my home address twenty-five 
copies, as this one may be missing every day. 

Pete Herman, 
Bantam Champion of the World. 



Your book is great. After perusing it, I find 
there is not a record missing in any sport. It is 
absolutely the best publication I have ever seen. 
It ought to go very "big." Wishing you success, 
I am, 

Johnny Dundee, 
" Junior Lightweight Champion of the World. 



173 




Your book Is the greatest in its line. It*s got 
every record in every sport. You ought to sell 
millions. Every sport-lover ought to have one. 
Send me another dozen. 

Charlie Ross, 

IVcrld's Famous Trainer, Earl Caddock, Charlie 
White, Johnny Coulon, Pete Herman, Jack Brit- 
ton, Freddie Welsh, Willie. Jackson, Framk 
Kla%ts, Carl Morris, Jimmie Hanlon, Etc. 



Say, it's a wonder. It will settle more disputes 
than a thousand sporting writers. Every one in- 
terested in sports will buy one, even if you asked 
Five Dollars a book instead of fifty cents. 

Lew Tendler.
